I started walking aimlessly around the halls making turns left and right. I groaned closing my eyes. Where the hell am I?
"Athena!" A voice called out making me turn around to see who it was and I immediately sighed in relief when I saw it was Leo. The tensity in my shoulders by my life or death situation vanished. I needed to tell him what happened since I didn't have the chance to tell Valentino. I ran up to him and automatically hugged him. He stayed still for a meant but soon enough I felt him wrap his hands around in a relieved way.
"Leo, something's happ-"
"I know and we have to get out of here."
We both let get of each other as we both started running god knows where. " What exactly is happening!?" I yelled looking around keeping my pace with him.
He sighed and quickly explained everything, "Apparently they found out we were going to be here too. They put sleeping gas all over the hotel so that unwanted victims would sleep while massacre happened, so when they wake up they wouldn't know what happened meaning police get no info. What I'm trying to figure out is how they know our every move and information?"
I bit my lip as I remembered what the women said when I was dangling on the window. I huffed as I continued to run. "They...they have a hacker of their own...and apparently Mr.Dimitri kidnapped him." I said in between breaths.
He stopped running and I slowed down staying beside him. He nodded satisfied with my answer. "Get out of here now and start the car, we'll meet you there."
I bit my lip unsure, "But what about you gu-"
He cut me off with a stern look, the adorable side of Leo was gone and all that remained was assassin Leo. "Don't worry about us, worry about yourself, and get out of here."
I started running to the elevator but he called out my name making me turn around, two objects were flying through the air as it almost hit my face but I quickly raised my hand and caught it. A phone and a gun.
I looked at him thankful, "Use it if you need it." He lastly said before running the other direction with his own gun in hand.
The thought that maybe families were here for a vacation and then suddenly get drugged into a deep sleep and wake up clueless was funny to me, unknown that a few hours ago there were mafia shootings. I entered the elevator and pressed the lobby floor, I tapped my foot against the metal ground nervous. It dinged and I immediately ran outside to the car but I holted my steps as I remembered something.
Melissa, Omg you have to be kidding me. She's in the ninth floor, I turned around slowly and since I was in a rush before, I didn't notice how eerily quiet it was. There were supposed to women and men working but the lobby was lonely, no one in sight. This made me more precautios and I raised my gun ready to shoot if necessary.
I entered the elevator again and pressed the ninth floor where Melissa was located in some balcony. The doors opened and I rushed out opening door through door looking for her.
"Melissa!" I yelled and my voice echoed throughout the long hallway. I heard a silent call out for my name behind one of the doors. I opened a door and entered inside looking out the balcony. Melissa was laying there in a small pool of her blood. Her shirt was blood soaked. Her skin was sickly pale, she looked half-dead. Her brown hair was scattered and strands stuck to her forehead by the sweat that glistened.

"Shit, you look dead." I mumbled, leaning down hooking a hand on her back. She let out a chuckle but she winced right after.
"Gee thanks." she whispered in a scratchy voice.
"Did you put pressure on the wound?" I asked, she shook her head slowly staring at the ground while I stared deadpanned at her.
I layed her flat on her back and took off her shirt tying it around her stomach to prevent more blood from coming out. She grunted when I lifted her up. She stood on both legs and I released her slowly. "Can you walk?" I asked feeling stupid.
She pressed her lips and nodded as she took small steps.
"Do you think you can reach the car alone?" I said grabbing her arm and putting it behind my neck helping her walk faster.
"Uh, I think so, why?" She asked looking at me with narrowed eyes full of suspicion.
"I'll stay back and help. You're injured so wait in the car." I answered ignoring what Leo told me to do but the thing is I wouldn't wait in the car while they're probably fighting some of the Russian guys. I'm a part of the mission meaning I have to do something too.
She hummed as I watched her walk away disappear out the room. I stayed a few minutes in the balcony feeling the cool air pass through my face. The stress was catching up to me, yes, its thrilling but at the same time it's exhausting watching over your back because death might be right behind you.
I took the phone out of my pocket and stared at it for a few seconds. I dialed Kai waiting for him to answer, I knew he answered when his panting voice entered my ears.
"" He yelled as I heard gunshots from the call but then I heard the same gunshots outside.
"Uh it's me, Athena-"
"
I ran a hand through my hair, "He gave it to me. Anyways, where are you guys?" I questioned looking down at the sidewalks where people were running desperately trying to get away upon hearing the gunshots. The police is definitely coming...
"
My mouth dropped, 80 men? We're just four against eighty. "Uh, no I'm not in the car. I'm in one of the balcony's."
"He paused muttering some curse words and other sentences, he finally called down. "
I furrowed my eyebrows, "I can only see a sidewalk..."
"
I sighers rubbing my head, "Yeah I do."
I was about to reply thankful that he cared but he me off.
I take what I said back.
"Oh wow. See ya." I chuckled.
I walked out of the room and towards the elevator again. I was about to enter but I heard a thick Russian voice in a room nearby making me freeze. He was shouting to someone because I heard a quiet voice answer him in fear. Suddenly another voice popped out of nowhere. It was feminine and strong. They all started saying some things in Russian but then they switched back to English with their Russian accent still present.
"Where is my sister!" She yelled in a whiny tone making my eyes turn cold.
I had two options here. Get the fuck out and ignore what I just heard or stay and listen for some helpful info. I choose two. I slowly walked to the room the voices were coming from. I peeked into the room and I was facing a woman's back while two grown men had they're head low in respect for her. She must be high rank then...

The way she was standing was authoritative and demanding. She was wearing a tight hot pink dress that clung to her body as she wore 6-inch heels that were also pink. Her blonde hair was tied up in a tight bun. The two men were standing like dogs that we're just scolded. They wore black suits with black shades and their hair was styled back with gel.
"We don't know Ms." one of them admitted. She clenched her first as she stomped on the ground with her heels. How has she not flipped over?
"I will call my brother and tell him you guys are worthless pieces of shit!" She screamed. Brother?
"No need to call the Don. We will find your sister right now." She's Mr.Dimistri's sister?
She kept a hand on her hip as she turned around making my eyes bulge out and my mouth drop open. They're fucking triplets?! I really fucked up, the sister she was trying to find was Lizzy which was the one I killed with my knife and her other sister was probably decaying in a ditch which was the one Valentino killed. All of them where Mr.Dimitri's sisters!
"Do it then you shits! Aliza disappeared yesterday and you guys still haven't found her and now you guys can't find Lizzy! Just wait until brother fin-"
Suddenly I sneezed making their heads turn to me and all the attention was on me. Just great...im definitely going to tell my children this story, that is if I make it out alive.
"Hey!" One of the men roared as the women took out her gun. Luckily I had mine in hand and I quickly raised my gun and shot her between her eyes. I guess Mr.Dimitri is a single child now...God, Athena don't make jokes right now. Their eyes widened and they screamed as her body fell to the floor. I turned around and bolted to the other hall, I didn't have time to wait for the goddamn elevator to open. Their feet were heard behind me making me run faster. They were screaming in Russian to each other.
I should've minded my business.
"Stop running bitch!" The man yelled out angrily but that only made me run faster. I suddenly heard the ring of a call and I took it out my pocket while running not bothering to check who it was.
I heard Leo's voice making a small smile arrive on my lips. He could probably hear my panting and heavy breaths. He was probably using Kai's phone, I heard some gunshots in his line meaning they probably were having their own problems as well.
"Uh...fuck, I was the...one that shot it. No time to talk, meet me in the pool with the others." I panted.
I ended the call and swiftly put the phone back in my pants. I turned into another room hoping this was the other side of the hotel. I closes the door and hid myself behind it. I took out my knife as I waited for them to arrive. My heart thumpered in my chest making me think it was going to pop out. I held the knife handle hard and the door slowly creaked as it opened slowly.
"I could've swore she entered this room." one of them muttered behind the door. These two men were muscular and huge meaning two of their body's wouldn't fit in the door frame meaning only one was behind the door and the other was outside in the hall waiting.
I slowly counted to three.
1...
2...
3...
I grabbed the door and harshly pushed it back making the knob dig onto his hip. I heard him stumble backward hitting the door frame and I promptly peeked my body and threw my knife on his neck. Blood gushed out of his neck in a squirt making me cringe.
2 knives left.
The other guy yelled and quickly walked through the half opened door making the door go flying backwards and hit me in the chest. Fuck, my tits are in pain.
The guy peeked his head through the door and I raised my hand and shot out my knife but he quickly retracted his head making the knife go flying to the balcony and outside.
1 knife left.
A dark chuckle resonated from him making my insider turn in fear. I'm screwed. He suddenly lunges at me and I sidestepped him running to the bathroom and locking myself in there. A ring resonated from my pants making me take the phone out. I flinched when all of a sudden banging started from the other side of the door. This guy could break this door and kill me here in the bathroom. I do not want to die in front of a toilet.
I pressed the green button and raises the phone to my ear. "What!?" I snapped.
"Kai started but I cut him off not having time for this.
"Yes, it was my knife." I paused hearing the banging get louder. "Look, I don't have time for-"
" he snapped back making a small chuckle resonate out of me.
I was about to respond but I heard a beep signaling the call ended. I looked around the bathroom and saw another window. This is such a bad idea.
I quickly opened the medium sized window and got out balancing myself on the ledge. I looked outside and bodies were scattered everywhere, blood...there was blood everywhere. Guns shots were heard and screams. Fuck.
The phone rang again making me groan. I answered carefully tightening my grip on the wall.
Valentino's voice entered my ears, I grabbed the phone tightly and I threw it into the pool below as I watched their heads follow the phone in the air as they're mouths fell open. I'm so done with this shit. They're heads turned to me, more specifically Valentino. I smiled and raised my middle finger, flipping him off.
I turned my attention back to me and slowly walked until I got to the balcony. I jumped on it but I probably made to much noise as the next thing I saw was the guy poking his head out of the wall and when he noticed where I was, he stared at the bathroom door and back at the balcony where I was confused.
He didn't waste time as he ran to me and he threw a punch at me, I ducked down and raised my knee hitting him hard on his groin. He doubled over an I took that opportunity to grab his hair tightly in my fist and I brought it down to my knee. Breaking his nose, blood dripped down his nose and onto my cargo pants making me sigh annoyed.
"Look what you fucking did. Your blood stained my pants." I said moving his head to my pants proving my point. He was drowsy and with half closed eyes.
I slapped him making him snap awake. I threw another punch at him, his jaw. I heard a crack on his jaw and I smiled satisfied. He tiredly groaned, should I kill him or not?
His body suddenly stumbled forward making me stumble backwards and the railing dug into my lower back. He collapsed on me and his body was on top of mine putting pressure on my upper body making both of us tilt backwards.
My eyes widened, "No, no, no, no!" I chanted as my upper body was dangling of the railing. Everything I was seeing was flipped over and I was seeing upside down. My heart leaped in my chest as the railing winced not being able to take our weight.
"Get off me!" I screamed trying to push him off me but I immediately stopped when a sudden wave of dizziness hit me and my head felt like it was going to explode by the blood going to my head.
He muttered something and he tilted forward completely as we both fell of the ninth floor. My heart leaped in my chest and I felt the food I ate earlier rising. I screamed and closed my eyes feeling myself fall rapidly through the air. The air got caught in my throat and I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore by how fast I was falling. Fuck gravity, fuck this whole hotel, fuck the whole mafia, fuck my whole life.
I opened my eyes and they immediately burned making me close them again. I couldn't even see where I was falling or how much to hit ground. I held my breath and waited for impact.
I pressed my eyes tighter by the pain of the hard water hitting my ass. At least I didn't smack against it. My throat and nose burned by the bleached water entering my lungs and nose. My body suddenly went limp but I quickly took over and I weakly swam to the surface. I felt like spaghetti, my legs gave out and I quickly holded the pool stairs with my hands tightly. I slowly opened my eyes and I immedielty coughed as water rose up my throat.
The sun hit my face tightly making me groan and punch the iron bar but I quickly regretted it as pain took over my hand. Can't I catch a break?
Leo held out his hand for me and I gladly took it as he lifted me up out of the pull. I sat down on the ground not caring there was blood and bodies all over me. Hell, I could be sitting in blood for all I care. He sympathetically smiled at me and I smiled back at him. He patted my head trying to console me but that only made me chuckle softly.
"Are you okay Athena?" Kai asked beside Leo.
"Yeah, im fine. My ass just hurts." I bluntly said not caring at this point. He laughed and shook his head and he patted my head too.
Suddenly a pair or black jeans stood in front of me. I sighed and averted my gaze towards Leo who had taken a seat next to me on the ground. I was shivering by how wet my clothes had gotten and my brown hair was a mess.
"What the fuck is wrong with you, Athena?!" He said angrily but the way he said my name with so much distaste and hate made me clench my fist beside me. "You could have died!"
I scoffed and raised my head to look at him, his grey eyes were darker as his eyelashes added to the effect.
"Like if you care." I gritted between clenched teeth.
He chuckled and ran a hand through his black hair. "You're right. Why should I care?" He growled kneeling down and looking at me straight in the eyes. He tilted his head as he narrowed his eyes. "But why do care if I care or not, Huh?"
I closed my eyes and sucked in a shaky breath. "I don't." I sneered.
"Exactly, we both don't and things will remain that way."
I was about to answer but the sound of sirens and tires screeching caught our attention as we all froze.

What is the Aetherneal bond between them and what has it turned them into? What is the truth behind gods and divine magic? Why has the third race of Halnea - the Ascended, mysteriously disappeared, and what is the connection between the remaining two races?

A quest that just might end up changing the fate of the entire world. ————————————————————————————————————- What do readers say about it? ————————————————————————————————————- "Aethernea is my absolute favorite read on wattpad, I love it as much as I love Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments. You have such an amazing way to make the words flow and unbelievable descriptions. Unique characters and a great story line. All the small clues and mystery in the humor and fantasy just makes the book perfect in my opinion. I read all chapters in two days! Less than 48 hours even! I'm REALLY looking forward to the next update, the world of Aethernea is so deep and well thought out, it's beautiful and magical. God I can't believe how creative you are, so many small details with so many families and stories everywhere. Purely fantastical, I admire you." - astro-logical from Wattpad "I love love love Aethernea so much! It is amazing how you created this new world with different creatures, magics, looks, illnesses, and evil! I was blown away by your explanation of the Mana pools and how to weave magic! Simply stunning really! You are one of my favorite authors and Wattpad and I am so glad I stumbled upon Aethernea because it is worth all of my time reading!" - Adriana_V_Blade from Wattpad "I absolutely am loving Aethernea so far. I am certain you belong in the ranks among J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, Suzane Collinings, and many more great and wonderful authors. You opened up a whole new world for me, which only a few great authors have accomplished. While it's true I am pulled into each and every book, few are able to capture me to the point of inescapability. Though, somehow, you have managed this feat. I thank you for this and more! You are a wonderful author and can't wait for more to come!" - daughterofpercabeth7 from Wattpad "WOW! just caught Aethernea in gravity tales! Just when I was getting tired of most xianxia novels this appears and completely blows my mind! I really like the depth and the humorous touch you give the characters and it seems you have the storyline well thought out since you are always hinting about things in the past and the future. It has been such an enjoyable experience that I couldn't stop reading, finishing it in just one day and laughing my way through most of the episodes. But what keeps me so excited for what's coming is the magic system and the professions of the world you are creating.The magic mechanics have such a huge potential! They are simple but at the same time they open so many possibilities. Even though we still only understand the basics of transmutation and augmentation, I expect them to enable fights where there is need of quick thinking and skill, and not just brainless overpower of every opponent. In a way this makes me reminiscent about The Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson, which are one of my favorite series ever. The thing that sets Mistborn apart from any other series is that the mechanics are so well thought out that they could be used to create a super cool triple A video game and I cannot help but hope Aethernea reaches the same level or even surpass it. I really think it has that potential. Really hope this series gets the attention it deserves. As for me, Thursdays and Sundays just got a whole more exciting! =)" - AlexMLion "Your writing is fantastic and riveting, the chapters and character flow so smooth, and it captivates the reader with the many twist and turns that tricks one mind into thinking this is about to happen, when suddenly the exact opposite happens. You truly are in inspirational writer with a brilliant mind that can see and put words into chapters and into this one truly awesome book. Thank you!" - AshleyStaar from Wattpad "I loved this story, such detailed description and accurate words, both Kiel and Elaru completely caught my attention, your writing style is just beautiful and the plot is astounding and it's just the first episode! This kind of fantasy stories are my favourite, it has a lot of magic in it, rivalry and sense of humour." - BlackWhiteD from Wattpad
